ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are presented that optimize the output voltage and output current provided by an electronic welding station to a welding operation. A value for a specified welding operation parameter is selected and the values for other welding operation parameters that produce optimum welding results are recorded. These values are used to implement a control system which automatically varies these other parameters as a function of the adjustment of the selected parameter. Therefore, an operator need only adjust a single control parameter for a welding operation and the control system automatically selects the optimum values for the other parameters. This reduces the number of controls that an operator must adjust for a welding operation and results in higher operator efficiency and optimum welding results.
